Aero Law Center Secures $95M Boeing 777-300ER Financing for Asian Lenders.

Aero Law Center, a boutique aircraft finance law firm, has successfully advised two major commercial banks based in Taiwan.

The firm provided lender-side representation in a significant debt financing deal. This transaction supported a leasing company's US$95 million Boeing 777-300ER acquisition.

The aircraft is now leased to a major Taiwan airline. This deal highlights the firm’s deep expertise in international aircraft finance and complex cross-border aviation financings.

Cross-Border Transaction Structure

The financing involved a sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional structure. It was secured by the aircraft and related collateral. Careful coordination was needed across lender, lessor, and airline counterparties.

Attorneys Stewart Herman and Nada Ragland led the deal team. They bring extensive experience in aircraft finance, leasing, and trading.

"This transaction reflects the continued strength of the wide-body aircraft financing market," said Nada Ragland. "Experienced counsel is vital in navigating complex cross-border aviation financings."

Market Context and Wide-Body Demand

The financing of the wide-body Boeing 777-300ER comes amid a strong market. The global aviation industry is seeing a robust recovery in long-haul travel demand.

Industry reports indicate that the wide-body aircraft financing market remains buoyant. This is due to constrained supply of new aircraft from manufacturers. Delays to new programs, like the 777X, are increasing the value of existing 777-300ERs.

Mid-life 777-300ER aircraft are commanding strong market values. The $95 million acquisition price aligns with this trend.

Taiwan Airline Leasing Dynamics

Taiwan airline leasing remains a key part of fleet strategy. Airlines in the region often rely on leased aircraft for fleet flexibility and agility.

Taiwan’s air travel market is experiencing a strong upswing. This recovery is driven by strengthening demand across Asia-Pacific international corridors. This demand fuels the need for commercial aviation transactions like this one.

Key Transaction Elements

Aero Law Center advised the lenders on several critical elements of the deal. These steps ensure the investment is legally sound and protected.

Key services provided included:

• Structuring and documentation of the loan facility.
• Managing cross-border regulatory and closing matters.
• Advising on interest-rate swaps.
• Securing residual value insurance for the aircraft at the lease end.

This successful closing underscores the firm’s capabilities. They specialize in transactions involving financial institutions, leasing companies, and international airline operators. The firm’s expertise helps secure strategically important investments for its clients, supporting global aviation growth. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts continued strong financial performance for airlines in 2026.
